Thanks Unicorn.  I keep the RAM site open on my desktop.  
Have also found ebay a useful tool. I see what people are selling and then research the hell out of it. I think I got lucky today.

Thanks Pedro.
Didn't find any more but I did find a 2017 5 cent. Only missing 85, 86 in circulated now. Very exciting.  On to the 10s now.

Hi to All,
Hope everyone had a great christmas.
Just thought I would update the page. I finally found a 1972 5 cent coin, quickly followed by another in the next bank roll.
Still haven't finished going through them all but you never know.

Quote from: 'fred lever' pid='113404' dateline='1513897389'Hullo Nick, please keep up the good work and welcome to the hobby! You are exactly what this hobby needs someone fresh who looks at coins and sees things that are different. I had forgotten about the rotated 66 10 cents, as you point out is well documented with a simple web search, and i'm an old timer who should know better! Now I have to drag out all the decimal coins I have collected in shoe boxes over the years and go through the 10cents just in case. Don't worry about statistical methods indicating whether its likely to find something or not, I was handed a 1916 shilling in my change some years ago while shopping and to me that was not a "million to 1" thing but a 100% find! Just keep looking for the 100% things like 2000 $1 mules, missstrikes and odd die combinations that are floating in the pond waiting for a finder. Be one of the finders, ignore the statistics and keepi the 100% theory!
Cheers, Fred Lever.

Thanks Fred, it really is an enjoyable hobby. Since I'm only learning, I tend to look at ebay to see what people are posting in the way of errors and varieties. If I see something that strikes an interest, I then smash into downies or TDK APDC , or even the RAM sites. There is so much info out there that if you think outside the box a little bit you can kick some goals. 
Today I was given a 2015 10 cent singapore coin in a bag of 5 cents. Also found an 1878 half penny in a tin of mixed stuff in an antique store. Not in great condition but pretty good for a coin 139 years old. 

Thanks for the encouragement. Merry Christmas to All.

Hecules is a good guy, I am sure he did not mean to upset you.
I am sure he would love for you to have found 2 rotated 10c coins (and so would i!).
Please keep posting, its a good place and you will get lots of good advice.
I have not done much searching recently, but have done a fair bit oflver the last few years.
I have found a fair number of interesting coins, but not a ritated 10c (yet!).
Welcome to the forum!

Quote from: 'Hercules' pid='113374' dateline='1513676017'I'm not accusing you of lying or anything like that. All I know is that I've sometimes found 1966 10c coins, thought they were rotated, but then, when I looked closer at them, I realised that they weren't. Thus, I just want to make sure that you really have found something valuable before you start bragging about it. :winkextra:

Okay. First off, I wasn't bragging but trying to share a story. If I was wrong, then fool on me. Not on you. Don't try to belittle someone who has just joined your forum. You should be encouraging new members, not trying to make a fool out of them. If Im wrong, which I will gladly admit to, then I'm wrong. So be it. I have been noodling my change for less than 2 weeks. I'm also not an idiot who would post something on the first forum I ever joined without being certain of my facts. Why don't you PM me and I will see if I can email you some pics from my phone. Kind Regards Nick

Gday mate, would love to. They are already in 2.5 x 2.5 cos thats what I ordered. By doubt, do you mean you. I have no reason to lie. More than happy to post photos once I figure out how to. Not very good on the computer thingy but more than willing to email you a pic or two from my phone as thats how I do most stuff. Regards Nick
